Why do weekends whizz on by?

I have come to the conclusion that the weekends must contain less hours than any other 2 days of the week ~ the reason for this is because they go by so damn fast!! I really have no problems with the weekdays~ I enjoy my work ~ I like the weekly schedule ~ but I do love my weekends ~ spending time with the children ~ relaxing (sometimes) and just doing what ever we like.......but I wish that they lasted longer ha ha !!

This weekend is a prime example ~ here I sit on Sunday afternoon ~ with the knowledge of another week spreading out in front of me ~ and I have not really achieved anything that I wanted!! I usually make plans and then they never actually happen (ha ha ) ~ this weekend I wanted to take apart the old furniture and put it in the garage ready to take it to the tip.......then I realised (upon actually looking in the garage!!) ~ that there was not actually enough room to store the larger unit ~ which cannot be taken apart ~ so after spending about 2 hours clearing the space this morning ~ I no longer had the energy or the inclination to then spend another 2 hours taking one unit apart ~ emptying another and then replacing them with the new furniture and sorting all the 'stuff' (and by stuff I actually mean junk ha ha ) ~ out!! I have made an executive decision that it can wait until next weekend!!

Yesterday we went to the pet shop and bought the fish a bigger tank. When we first bought the fish they were tiny and the little tank was more than adequate. However ~ they have decided to grow to massive proportions and the tank was just too small ~ so they are now sporting a new home ~ which I think they are happy with (not that I can tell when a fish is happy!! ~ but they are swimming around and around quite alot ~ so I take it that means they like it!!!!). Setting up the new tank was a mammoth task ~ as the new one takes 30 litres of water and took quite a while to fill up, and then I had to clean the old tank ~ which was equally a mammoth task!!

Today the weather has been lovely again ~ nice and sunny and dry and warm!! Lauren decided that she would like to go out on her rollerskates ~ so we went for a walk (well Lauren actually rolled!!) ~ and Lauren practised her rollerskating skills ~ which was interesting to say the least. She has not quite mastered the art of skating yet ~ so every few minutes she almost fell over ~ resulting in her grabbing my arm for dear life ~ so as not to fall over!! My poor arm looks like it has been involved in a fight and is sporting a few finger sized bruises ~ very attractive!!
Daniel decided to take his remote controlled bug (called an insecta) out with him ~ so inbetween trying to hold lauren up I also had to duck out of the way of a flying object which looks like a cross between an insect and a helicopter!! It is a dangerous job being a mummy ~ I should be paid danger money ha ha !!!

The children both absolutely love a programme that is on a Sunday evening ~ called Hairspray ~ The school musical, which is about a school production of hairspray ~ which is to be put on in the West End!! After that it is usually bath and bed!! Then I will have to iron, make the lunches and shine the shoes ~ all ready for another school week.......before falling (literally) into bed!! I hope that it is warmer tonight ~ I was totally freezing last night ~ and in the absense of Brad Pitt to warm me up (apparently he is otherwise engaged ha ha !!) ~ I had to get up and put my dressing gown on in the end ~ and sleep in that!! I think that my shorts and vest combination for sleeping in is going to have to be replaced with something just a little bit warmer!!
